Re: What's "D" Mean

Excellent photo which I don't think puts a yellow D right out of the question (but it doesn't confirm it either). Does someone know of a 6N+DH lost in the relevant area and period? I have Ken Wakefield's book Pfadfinder and there is no DH his appendix on 1./KGr. 100 losses but there are many entries without a code or Werk Nummer, so that isn't conclusive.

Another thought: the fuselage appears to be half-filled with sand. I wonder how long that takes after a landing in shallow water? It might suggest that the photo wasn't taken right after the crash.
